TRNSMT Festival: World Cup Clash Shifts Music Schedule
16 Jun
Summary
- Scotland's TRNSMT festival moved earlier, running June 19-21, 2026.
- The Scotland-Morocco World Cup match will be shown on the main stage.
- Headliners include Richard Ashcroft, Kasabian, and Lewis Capaldi.
Scotland's TRNSMT festival returns to Glasgow Green from June 19-21, 2026, with a revised schedule. Headlining the three-day event are Richard Ashcroft on Friday, Kasabian on Saturday, and Lewis Capaldi on Sunday.
This year's festival is notably impacted by the World Cup. The Scotland vs. Morocco match, kicking off at 23:00 on Friday, will be shown on the main stage after Richard Ashcroft's set concludes at 22:15. This has led to earlier set times for Friday's performers and has generated some local opposition due to potential noise and extended curfews.
Despite some local objections regarding extended curfews to accommodate the football match, Glasgow City Council has granted a temporary license for the screening. The festival, now in its ninth year, continues to be a major fixture in Scotland's music scene, offering a diverse lineup across its five stages.
Festival-goers can expect a range of acts, including Nile Rodgers & Chic, Wolf Alice, The Beta Band, and The Snuts. Transport services are being enhanced with extra train carriages and late-night services, although subway services will not operate on Sunday.
